Cody Wheeler – Life Listed

Hi. I’m Cody Wheeler. And this is my life listed. In other words, my living bucket list. Actually, it’s my Life List.

You only live once, right? Sounds cliche, but it’s absolutely true. You don’t have to aspire to jump out of a plane and travel the world like me, but you should at least write some things down that you want to do in your lifetime. BEFORE you have spent the best years of your life working and slaving away. That’s the key difference between a Life List, and a Bucket List.

A Life List is something you do while you still have the life to enjoy it. A Bucket List is just stuff you do “before you die.”

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather do cool and exciting things while I still have some life left in me, not while I’m probably in poor health and worried about if I have enough money left for retirement.

Whatever these things might be, these are the goals that will drive you to keep bettering yourself every single day – a key principle of Academy Success.

Otherwise, why the hell are you here? 🙂

One final note – Even though this page is public, it is still in the works. I’ll be adding through it throughout 2012, so don’t judge me just yet!
